Showcase: Emperors Children Contemptor Dreadnought

Jason’s been working on a small project: wanting to paint all the Chaos Legion contemptor dreadnoughts! Next up: Emperors Children. Read to find out more …

For my seventh Chaos legion contemptor dreadnought, I picked the Emperors Children. I’ve always wanted to give the favored of Slaanesh a try. I’ve really loved painting pinks/purples with my Thousand Sons & Tzeentch models. I was torn on going more 30k (purple/gold trim) or 40k (pink/black trim) so I tried to do a mixture of the two, showing them progress in their devotions. I decided against too much weathering on this kit as I just think that they are very vain and how dare their armor get scuffed.

This was definitely a lot of fun but would really love to see how this scheme would translate to some Chaos marines. Maybe in the future if GW would release the Daemon primarch version of Fulgrim…
